What is the sensor in the back logo?

I just noticed today that there is a tiny sensor in the back logo of my new iPhone SE (A1662). You have to look at just the right angle in diffuse daylight. Does anyone know what this sensor is or does? Is it an antenna? Is it possibly for future function, like wireless charger proximity or something???

Is this a good question?

I did look at another SE and didn't see anything there, so unless the Russians are tracking my every move (I must be THAT important) you are probably correct that it's some pressure-created adhesive marking.

having opened up MAN iphone SE's i can state confidently there should not be a sensor in that location.

its not coiled, so it wont produce a magnetic field, meaning no NFC or inductive charging. Nor does it look professionally milled. i honestly think it is just an adhesive or the like under the plastic logo. but this is all assumption. ill tag this post for future reference, and respond when the next on comes in.
